1 prop is all we “need” but is it all we can afford? There are other areas we could strengthen, we have precious little pace out wide, this must be addressed if we seriously want to win it next year.

I think you are right.
But wouldn`t we have Hurrells money to go towards his salary?
Apparently Bulldogs are willing to pay half his salary.
Does that mean we would be paying circa £300 py?
Don`t think we will sign him but Warrea Hargraves would do

A prop yes but a back with pace to burn is what we really lack. We look to have smart creative halves but no real killer pace out wider. I hope when GH mentions about expanding into success he has something good up his sleeve so a good prop and a good outside back please.

I think if Liam Sutcliffe is given a permanent, undistracted run at centre with a settled wing partner he could be very good indeed.

Handley, Sutcliffe, Newman, T Briscoe are shoe-ins I think. The time to replace any would be end of next season IMO.

Tindall I read is the quickest man at the club. Broadbent and Edwards deserve a chance and Walker hopefully will get fit and challenge Myler.

I agree we lack long-range strike but given our pack and halves, we have tries in us.

We need one definitely but two would be better.

Have to say i think its best all round that Koni starts afresh elsewhere. He has potential to be a powerhouse player but i personally dont think he takes the game seriously enough. Maybe Saints can get him fit and get him working harder.

Look at last week, hes out with a foot/ankle injury, hes in a boot yet runs across pitch with his crutch in the air to South Stand. Hobbling on it all the way
Just stupid could have made his injury worse. Just about summed him up to me.

A really likeable character, a powerful bloke but is he a professional? Wish him well at Saints, hope he knuckles down. Probably wont happen.

I think this is the best decision for the team.This season Hurrell has been very ordinary and i can only remember him having one good game this year against a Cas team that just rolled over.I just hope we now go and sign at least one prop hopefully two.

Great news.

Look forward to the Saints fans meltdowns about him

Well I’m expecting us to bring in a prop now and a quality one. I’m also unsure if these leaves us lacking some quality depth out wide..

I think next year is a big one for Sutcliffe, we should have enough cover in other positions for him not to be shunted around the team, give him the centre spot (easily his best position imo) and let him settle there (injuries permitting). Despite the flak he gets on here he is a talented RL player and looked at his best the last time he was given a good run in his preferred position.

Broadbent will be pushing him all the way for that spot so shouldn’t get complacent.

I can hear Uncle Gary now saying “well King decided his future lay elsewhere, so we’re very pleased to welcome Muizz Mustapha back to the club following his very successful loan spell with Hull KR. It’s a case of 1 in 1 out so we don’t see a need to add further to the squad.”

Good luck to him, but I think this was inevitable.
We were not going to offer him the same deal.
He’s one of those players that if you watch his highlights reel, then you think you’ve signed one of the best.
But watch a few 80 mins games and realise the flaws.
Enjoyed having home here, but time to move on.

Yeah agree. I think if Ronnie's job had been up for grabs he'd have stayed
